A shill post, but does point to the ascendancy of LED as very useful lighting.
This new company caught my attention last week.
Based in Wisconsin, they seem to be making some parts in USA, not clear on the LED source.
I expect Heiland competition soon.

This is really interesting.
I built my own unit years ago from 24" T12 UV fluorescent bulbs. I made it about 22" by about 25", so that it was oversized for 16x20. I checked around on the internet to get dimensional information. For example, the 1.25" diameter bulbs are spaced 1/4" apart. It turned our really nice, it was painted, and it had a drawer/shelf that rolled out and back in for the artwork. What was hilarious, is that I had a separate ballast and circuit for each bulb. Took me months to finish. Hundreds of connections.
That said, are you sure that your LEDs strips are spaced closely enough, in comparison to the distance to the artwork? (Rhetorical question.) I notice that the light sources are closer together along the strip, than side-by-side.
I'm wondering what the spectra distribution of LED lights are, compared to that of the earlier tubes? Are they bright enough? (Rhetorical question.)
As a comment, it will need to be longer and wider than your largest piece of art, to avoid the light fall-off at the borders of the light source.
It occurs to me that you could have easily purchased a brand new one, if you had sold your Arca. (Probably would have had some cash left over.) (Just kidding.)

Randy, thanks for the tip. I emailed them asking about color characteristics such as CRI. Hopefully, I'll hear back. They might be a good source of product for all sorts of photographic purposes. I currently us a Chinese edge-lit panel in my 810 scanner, but it's be great to have a local source.

Thank Eric. I have searched many tutorials, and this is the one I expected
